Am I driving and running on the same streets and walk paths as I have over the last 22 years in Minneapolis? I know the city has less money for services and that salt is more expensive. In my neighborhood, I see no salt on side streets and walk paths. Wow! Those intersections and paths are really slippery. Several times I have nearly fallen. For more than two decades I have run outside during Minneapolis winters. This year is clearly the worst one for safety. Without salt, the roads and paths are really slippery and dangerous, dangerous, dangerous. I fear that someone will get really hurt due to no salt. STAN JOHNSON, MINNEAPOLIS
